Anyway we look at it, each phone has it's pros and cons. I have an iPhone 3G for my personal life, but used to have a Verizon XV6700 for work. I now have to keep my iPhone in a case to keep it semi rugged while that 6700 could last in water for 3 minutes (actually happened about a few months before I got the iPhone) and still with mobile windows media player play a 2 Mbit video from the sd card reader and the screen still worked. It did what I needed it to do, but didn't have the entertainment value of the iPhone. The iPhone is great for entertainment, but is not as useful in terms of work relations, most of the time due to the lack of multitasking and the the clipboard feature, as well as file system access without jailbreaking it. Limited as well in software expandability is the iPhone, while a simple hack or install though Windows Mobile. The talk about a "Zune" feature is nice and is may provide a better option compared to the built in Media Player.
Each phone has it's cons and pros. Depending on your preference and wants for either company or yourself / others, choose the phone that fits what you need and want, weighing at times what is more important when one feature is only available for that platform. This "war" of phones and OS's has to stop and present have the users have a clear view of what features does what, even if it's a virtual one on a website, not to discriminate against one OS or phone to sell another.
When ya give suggestions for phones, take the time before that to use the rivaling phone features and take into consideration of what the person is looking for in a phone, not what is the hottest, latest, and greatest (unless that is what they are looking for).
I can keep going on and on, but I'll just post a blog about this to link instead of continuing on about something that has been repeated over and over through many sites.
Thank you.
